Peacock in Peabody

I had to take a ride to Peabody yesterday to grab something.  Thatcher was itching to get out of the house so he came for the drive.  We took a couple of backroads as a field trip of sorts and were surprised to pass this fella.  Who would have thought?  Peacocks in Peabody.

A HEARTFELT SHOUT OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY -THANK YOU FOR THE N-95 MASKS!

Our friend and local midwife, Mandy Davis, who yesterday made a plea for N-95 masks, wishes to thank everyone who donated so generously. The Brigham midwives were down to only two masks. Thanks to our community they now have 120 and will be sharing with Beverly midwives, too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤

The Opening Day That Wasn’t

While this pales in comparison to all that is crashing down around us, it’s still a sad day nonetheless. Today would have marked the Red Sox Home Opener…against the Chicago White Sox. A day that, to me, has always marked the start of spring, longer and carefree days, and new beginnings. Some feel anew on New Year’s Day….for me, it has always been the beginning of baseball season. Funny, coming from someone who isn’t actually a huge baseball fan per se….but, more someone who LOVES all that baseball stands for.

My wish is that there will be a day soon when we all feel anew. Be it at a backyard BBQ, the beach, back at our jobs, in our classrooms, sharing a drink at our favorite restaurant…or at Fenway Park. These empty seats (some of my favorite Fenway photos from my seat fetish days…and some fav opening days pics) will be waiting for us….and the stands…and our hearts…will be full again. #oneteam #theopeningdaythatwasnt 

Dr. Charles A. Steinberg, President of the Pawtucket Red Sox, said something that gave me goosebumps earlier this month in a letter to fans

For now, we sit by our windows and wait for spring. We listen to our leaders, and we take each step to protect the health and safety of ourselves and our loved ones. When this fog clears and the sun shines once again, we seek to welcome you with open arms, as we sing, “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” and most poignantly, “Take me out with the crowd.”

Here’s to dreams of happy, healthy, cheering crowds.
